For people using this on a shorted F150,I have the factory bed liner. The top of the bed rails have cover on them from the liner.Do i need to cut it?

Yes you will have to trim the bed caps about a 1/4" at each connection (4). They hang below the bed just a bit. Very easy to do.

You do need to notch out about an inch of bed rail cover in four corners. But factory bed liner does not affect cover. Great product! I love mine

Only a notch where the latch is needs to be trimmed. About 1/3" by 1" on the bottom edge.

No. You don't need to cut it. It works perfect with the plastic on the bed rails of the shortbed F150. It makes the seal tight.

I have a spray in liner from the factory and I did cut notches in my bed rail trim to get a more secure fit I of the cover. You can install without cutting the trim on top of the bed rails, but the trim will bow underneath the cover since it is longer than the metal seam underneath which is what this cover's cleats grab hold of. Install took less than 15 minutes and does not leak. I've had mine for 6 months. Great cover for the money!

Yes you do. I used a utility/razor knife and cut a piece of the bed rail cover off that measured approx. 1/2" x 2".It's relatively easy, follow the instructions. This allows clearance for the tonneau cover clamp to contact the truck bed, instead of the plastic bed rail cover.

No. Just clip it on to the side rail underneth the bedliner onto the metal.

I think it depends on the trim level of the truck mine is an FX4 and simply cutting the existing grille out would not have been enough to make a clean fit. I ended up completely removing the outer shell from the factory grille. There are tabs that snap the two together. You lose a few of the mounts for the factory shell but I have not had any issues. I mounted the aftermarket grille to the frame that holds the factory grille. You will need additional hardware the way I did it but I don't think the instructions provided will work for all models unless I completely misunderstood them. Also the way I did it you actually don't have to cut anything. You will have to drill holes in the frame though I think it depends on the trim level of the truck mine is an FX4 and simply cutting the existing grille out would not have been enough to make a clean fit.

This is not a tight fit for the bed of the truck. I do not see why it couldn't be trimmed, it would just look rough on the edges.

My '07 FX2 extended cab (super cab) has a 6 1/2' bed and this cover works. I'm nit-picking but since the cover is perfectly rectangular one thing it will make noticeable is tapering of the bedrails on the '07 F150. The cover meets the beds back corners at the tailgate but the beds outside walls are wider at the front, just behind the cab. The cover clamps down and seals like it should, so it's not a functional problem, just aesthetic. A cover would have to be wider at the front than at the rear to cover the bedrails perfectly. Nit-picking done. For the price it's fine, and they're available online for less if you search. My '07 FX2 extended cab (super cab) has a 6 1/2' bed and this cover works.

I had to cut out part of my bed liner on my 2005 f150. It was about an 10 inch vertical section right in front of the tail gate. You don't even notice the cut though. With a vibratory multi tool it takes 20 seconds. A decent Dremel should handle the job. Not a big deal

Most likely to cover the outer perimeter of the bed, where the bed size is 5.5' on a short bed truck. Hope this helps.

I am not familiar with your truck. I can't find a good picture of the bed, but it looks like you have plastic tops for the rails. Look at the front and see if you have vertical box like channels at the front and rear of your truck bed. If so, then the plastic rail covers are hiding the cut outs. If your bed rails don't have cut outs in the top (where stakes used to go when they actually used the beds of truck to haul things) you can't use them. Most trucks still have them, usually 2 at the front of the bed in the top of the rail and 2 at the back. Some long bed trucks have 3 sets with one in the middle. If you go stand in the bed of yor truck and look down on the top of the rails yuo should see rectangular cut outs in the top of the rails. They may have covers that are partially cut out of the bed liner that you have to remove to insert these. Usually it is obvious where these go. If your bed rails are smooth and have no openings in the top, you may not be able to use these. I would be surprised if there were no cut outs.

This will work in both scenarios. The top of the net comes with the clips for the rail system in any tundra bed size and the bottom simply hooks to the tie downs towards the bottom of the bed. The only thing the bedliner inhibits is the actually hooking to those tie downs because they are a little fatter due to the thickness of the spray - they will still hook, it just takes a little more work.

I have a f250 crew cab short bed and had to cut one section of pipe down about 18 inches. It should fit perfect with a long bed.

Hi - William. Just purchased and installed on 2010 Silverado LT 5"8" bed length. This model sits on bed rails - has very nice look to it. great coverage and no issues to date. The sides interlock with the header. Pretty much set in place - connect - sight for square and attach clamps.

Mine is on a 6' ford ranger bed. It does cut down your width a bit but, not too much. I have has issues with 4'x8' panels that were fixed with using one more strap than I normally would. My drop in bed liner had to come out or else it would fit at all next to the cab on the passenger side where I wanted it. THERE ARE NO HOLES TO PUT BOLTS IN. Youll half to drill your own and have someone hold it..... one peraon is a huge pain.

I put it on a newer Ford with the bed rail plastic coversThe clamps on the front and the latching in the rear go under the bed railsIf you have a liner that doesn't wrap the rails it would be ok. If you have a liner that goes up over the rails it will depend on the form of it. You could cut out the liner in those 4 pics. Pro get a secure clamp and latch.

My truck was the same and the cover seal fits just fine. The only problem I had was I had to cut some of the rail off on the inside of the bed cause the four posts that hold it together didnt fit snug. You might have to do the same thing. It wasnt hard and didnt take long, but just something I didnt expect.

I installed mine on my 2011 F150 Crewcab Short bed (5 1/2foot bed) with no problems;I did not purchase the additional accessories with the cover

I have a factory slide in bed liner that covers the inside but not top of the the bed rails and it worked out fine.
1045513
I don't think so? The Truck Bed Cover attaches under the rail so you would have to have a bed liner that allows access to the under rail ( I have a under the rail bedliner which worked quite well). I am sure you could ask the manufacture on how it might work?? I am very satisfied with the Bed Cover.

The factory spray in liner does not affect the fit at all. I also have it on my truck and the only change is that there will be a couple of adhesive rail protectors you won't need to use.
